4 Sneaker Trends You Might See More Than Simple White Trainers This Spring

Fashion sneakers (read: generally non-functional) are in a league of their own with trends that ebb and flow with the changing of the seasons. Sure, there are some fashion girl–approved classics that will never die like clean white trainers and lace-up high tops, but the sneaker experience is just as much a trend turnover as anything else in the community. And spring 2020 is bringing in a whole new class of playful sneaker styles.

Before you get too excited, the "ugly" sneaker trend is still holding strong, but there are more variations on the silhouette than ever before. It seems that last year's colorful array of Adidas Falcons sparked a color-blocking frenzy that we're sure to experience tenfold this spring. And where your dad's Kirkland brand trainers were once the most re-created style in town, it's your dad's college-era tennis Reeboks that are now making a full comeback.

Ahead, shop the spring sneaker trends that are sure to be flooding the street style scene this upcoming fashion week.

Forget everything you knew about color blocking—this season, sneaker designers are packing the entire color wheel into their creations. From bright and sunny pastels to overlapping high-contrast hues, expect to see a lot of Rainbow Brite–esque sneakers passing you on the streets.
Sandy Liang x Vans, Dior x Nike, Sean Wotherspoon x Atmos x Asics, Tom & Jerry x Reebok… 2020's lineup of designer-and-cartoon collabs is bigger than ever. Where collaboration drops used to be sparse events you waited months in anticipation for, 2020's spring calendar is filled to the brim with new releases.
It looks like we don't need a time machine after all. The '80s have made a full comeback, and our sneakers aren't planning on being left out. The throwback trend is bringing back old-school styles of yore from rounded toed to muted pastel hues, primary colors, and padded collar high-tops.
The general hype around Balenciaga's Triple S sneaker has since quieted down (although the trickle-down effect is still going strong). But where one door closes, another one opens, and Balenciaga is once again knocking down the sneaker hype door. This time around, it's swapping out chunky soles for treaded ones with its aptly name Track sneaker. While we can expect a whole host of copy cats to pop up come March, you can shop the trend now by buying actually functional treaded shoes.

Up next, the ugliest shoes of 2020, from least to most outrageous.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
